Trica Burgess
I live in Andalusia with my rescue dogs, including two Podencos, a sensitive and often misunderstood Spanish hunting breed.My writing is shaped by what they've taught me about trust, fear, connection, and, more recently, grief.
Genie, Beanie, Little Bear (& Melina Mou)
Before Beanie and Genie, my home was already shaped by rescue. Little Bear and Melina Mou, both from Crete, taught me how profoundly dogs can heal when they are allowed to feel safe.When Beanie and Genie joined us, I saw something more - how other dogs can play a vital role in the recovery of Podencos. Watching them learn from one another made one thing clear: healing isn't taught, it's shared.
